Hi Christer, Don't agree. There is no indication of that anywhere. Suppose the install finds no SP1 or SP1a, what would have to happen? I have...
Dan, If you set AU to the Notify before downloading and Notify Before Installing, that gives uoy a chance at the SP2 setup file and also you...
That was an anti-climax. Can you move this "thing" to a folder of it's own on the HD? At least it won't be in your face. BTW, how big is...
Hello smhouston, LOL, I forgot to ask the obvious, if you double click on that icon, what happens? Regards - Charles
Hi smhouston, By your description, those items shouldn't be on the Desktop. Don't know what will happen if they are deleted. BTW, do the...
